    Be sure to look down the wall studs from the attic. Found some of my best bottles there.

    Who still has their first dug bottle!

    I use to until my cleaning lady cleaned me out. I had a full label Lighting Lemon Extract that was beautiful. Also took my CPO coat. Don't get me started...

    Cardboard Litho Vernor’s Bottle

    My go to drink 45 years ago. It would burn your mouth, nothing like today's Vernor's.

    Possible mill stone found in dump?

    Mill stones are always great to put outside as a decor. So much history. Obviously for a home grinder.

    New member and new to bottles

    You can buy a bottle cutter on E-bay. Back in my youth I use to make them. Came out great. Sand the drinking edge and you're set.

    OLD OIL BOTTLES

    Agree. Carrier may be worth as much as the bottles. Sell as a set.

    Free blown bottle?

    Not sure, does this look like the one's from Zanesville, Ohio? Don't remember the name.

    Weird bottle old or new?

    Would they be turned upside down to dispense something?

    Advice for first permission dig? 1760 home site

    Also if you can get into the house go to attic and look down between walls. I have found many bottles this way. Best of luck.
